Show ARIZONA MAY SELECT' SWISS RECALL SYSTEM By Associated Press. TUCSON, Ariz., Dep. 23. When the legislature convenes In Phoenix some time during February, it will ho asked to adopt tho Swiss system of recall and lot the Oregon system, which was voted out of the constitution December 12. on the ultimatum of President Taft, go by the board. The essential difference between tho Swiss system and the Oregon plan Is that under the former the only thing voted on in a recall election Is tho recall of the accused official and in the. event of his elimination the governor appoints his successor. A. A. Worsley. a slate senator-elect from Tucson. Ariz., will propose the new recall system. He is now at work on the measure and will defend it on the ground that under the Oregon system an official under fire is handicapped by a double nght a struggle not only to 'retain his position and refute charges against him. but a struggle also against an opposing candidate. Wosley's bill wdll provide that when the recall Is resubmitted to the pooplefor Incorporation in the constitution, tho Oregon Ore-gon and Swiss plans shall be placed on the ballot so voters may chooso between I them. |
